“My new favorite authentic Mexican place to go. I travel from westerly, RI for this delicious cuisine! I loved everything about the operation after visiting today! Great job“

“deliciosa toda la comida y la atención excelente“

“Great place we chose to celebrate 28 years of our marriage. Not only that the food was impressive, but the staff was so friendly… they all work together looks like, as everyone stopped by our table to do something: Janet helped us choose margarita to start; Rebecca brought us a starter and explained couple of dishes we were not familiar with, another lady took our payment at the end as Janet was slammed serving customers at the bar… everyone looked so happy to be working there… such pleasant atmosphere. The food was really good. I had fish on a bed of rice and a mix of sautéed vegetables, and Jim had slow cooked beef. We want to go back until we try every dish they make…. Highly recommend it… Will definitely go back very soon.“

“Rio Rapids under the new management is an absolute gem! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and refreshingly honest. You truly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but the table-side guacamole is a must-try—fresh, flavorful, and made to perfection right before your eyes.

The lobster dish? Simply out of this world! Every bite was a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to quality and creativity.

I’m already looking forward to sharing this culinary experience with my YouTube audience—it’s that memorable.

“We stopped by because I was craving tacos. We were absolutely blown away by the quality of the food, cleanliness of the restaurant, and hospitality we were shown. We decided that that we need to be regular guests here. Honestly, eat here. It’s amazing. This place is such a treasure.“

“This is my favorite breakfast restaurant in Eastern CT. I highly recommend the Mexican breakfast items. Huge portions and full of flavor. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is the tables are often sticky and the washrooms can be filthy. They need a person dedicated to constant cleaning during business hours.“

“Had the pleasure of stopping in here a couple different times the past few weeks ordering out. Each time have been lucky enough to see Jojo himself — very warm and welcoming. Food is really great and will be a new regular spot!“

“my favorite spot in mystic! best food!!!“

“01.06.25 'Big Al's Reel Reviews' Mi Casa Mexican Restaurant Es Tu Casa 'Mi Casa' (Is your home my home) in the City of New London? 🤷🏾‍♂️ Well I am sure that I will be back for more delicious Mexican food. I gave them two 👍🏾👍🏾 due to serving me two amazing meals this evening! I will be honest and admit that the prices are a little bit "heavy" compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area but overall I really enjoyed my meals and the atmosphere at Mi Casa's a lot!

“Food is always fresh, delicious, and quick. The atmosphere is friendly and laid. Try a mango jalapeños margarita!! (It’s not on the menu but it’s delicious)“

“We visited before dinner time on a weekday but they still had a steady flow of customers. The gentleman mixologist working day shift was awesome (I’m horrible with names) very interactive, professional and fun. We moved to a table to eat at shift change and were not disappointed. The fritters were great, sweeter than I like but still impressed with the flavors and appreciated they were cooked through for the generous sizes! Quesadillas were perfect and thick! The surf and turf…. The only thing I could say bad was there was only two shrimp, however they were HUGE and butterflied beautifully. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly. The portions will never have you saying “that’s all for the price?” You guys are doing a great job! Can’t wait to come back and get deeper into the menu!“

“Excellent“
